Eating and drinking are not allowed on BART, but reading is. And there’s no better place to pick up a good book than the library.

But a modern library is about a lot more than books. Take the Berkeley Central Library, just a block-and-a-half from Downtown Berkeley BART. Inside you’ll find film screenings, poetry readings, business seminars and more. The library hosts tons of kids’ events, including LEGO building the first Friday of every month.

So hit the books at one of the Bay Area’s great BARTable libraries. Upload a photo of yourself and your favorite book to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the #BARTable to let us know what you’re reading.

I am a photographer. Have been for a long time. And right now, I am a photographer of kids, primarily doing school pictures. It's something that started organically a few years ago when I had the opportunity to get involved with the elementary school my daughters attended. Now working with schools is my business, and I love it. I can't think of a more lively age group to work with. I'm a big kid at heart and I enjoy their energy.
